Variations of Persian poems in the manuscript of Mahbub al-Qulub

Dariush Zolfaghari (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: There are many poems in the manuscript of Mahbub al-Qulub with number 15 in the Effendi state library in Turkey, but except for Hakim Ferdowsi and Hakim Sana"i, no other poet is mentioned in it, and the author"s method is not to mention the names of the poets. The poets whose poetry is included in this book are: Ferdowsi, Nasser Khosrow, Anwari, Farkhi Sistani, Sanai, Zahir Faryabi, Khaqani, Azraqi Heravi, Rashid Watawat, Nizami, Saadi and Molavi, all of whom are before the 8th century. Considering the author"s interest in mentioning the poems of prominent poets, it shows that he wrote the book in the beginning of the 8th century, and that is the reason why there are no poems of poets of this century in it.

METHODOLOGY: Changing the words in the poems of this version with authentic printed works raises the question of how original are the poems in Mahbub al-Qulub? And is it possible that the reason for the changes is that the author of the book quoted the poems from memory? In the following essay, to explain the problem, all the verses that are different from printed works have been examined.

FINDINGS: Although in a few cases the changes in this manuscript can be trusted due to the accuracy of the author"s opinion, but the guess is close to certainty that this author had a poetic nature and could easily replace words from make up your mind Also, the originality of the moral foundations of his book was more important to him than the originality of the texts, especially the poems that he included in the book.
